About the Club
-
Chatswood Rangers Sports Club is a community sports club catering for junior and senior football and netball players.
In 2013 Rangers celebrated its 50 year anniversary. In 2013, the club’s membership stood at 620 football players (U/6 through to O/45) and 110 netball players.
Across all age groups and skill levels, Chatswood Rangers promotes enjoyment, player development, fairness and sportsmanship. We expect all representatives of our club to respect and display these values at all times.

At the inaugural meeting held in the school room at Mowbray Public School on Wednesday 10th July 1963, Mr Jack N.C. Gay addressed the issue of a shortage of soccer teams available to local children. A junior soccer team had been run by Mr Bob Watts under the name of “The Northern Rovers” but Mr Watts was not able to continue with this. Mr Gay had approached Mowbray Public School ‘s Headmaster, Mr H. L. Parker whose inquiries from the school children revealed a strong interest in both cricket and soccer. With such an enthusiastic response from both parents and children, it was decided to form a sports club for boys and girls.
At the Committee Meeting on 8th August 1963, a number of names were put forward for the club. These names were as a result of a survey of local children and parents. While initially no suitable name was forthcoming, the committee agreed to adopt the name “Vanguard”. Vanguard was later changed to Mowbray Rovers Sports Club, and at a later meeting on 30th August 1963, this was changed to “The Rangers Sports Club”. It was decided the club colours would be Royal Blue and White and a dragon ship would be the club’s ensignia.
In an attempt to gather more support from the local community, and to firm up where the club was based, the name “Chatswood Rangers Sports Club” was put forward and passed by vote in 1988. The original insignia was updated in 1997 and was designed by a well known member of the soccer club, Joe Butler. Joe liked the insignia so much that he has it tattooed on his chest! The new insignia was used first by the senior soccer teams and then by the junior soccer teams as well as netball teams.
The founding office bearers were:
President – Mr A.A.Herbert
Vice President – Mr J.N.C. Gay Secretary
Mrs. Gladys Tapper Treasurer
Mr B. Scott Teams Manager
Mr J.N.C. Gay Committee Members
Mr John Farac
Mrs Margaret Gay
Mr Peter Mullins
Mr Ken Stacey
Mr Cyril Williams.
At a subsequent meeting, Mr. G. Mortimer was appointed the official Publicity Officer of the Club.
The first fund raising event was to be a variety concert suggested by Mr Enzo Toppano who offered to approach leading television and radio stars to participate. Due to the work of Enzo, he was elected as an Honorary Vice President.
The first AGM of the Ranger’s Sports Club was held at Mowbray Public School on the 31st July 1964. In its first year the Club formed teams for cricket and soccer with the soccer teams consisting Under 9 (x2), Under 10, Under 12 & Under 14.
Rangers commenced with the North Western Soccer Association in 1966. Basketball was initially played in the Baptist Women’s Association and then netball in the Northern Suburbs Association in 1966. In 1974 Rangers Netball moved to Hallstrom Park, Naremburn.
By 1987, Rangers consisted of cricket, athletics, table tennis, basketball, netball and soccer teams.
Chatswood Rangers Sports Club currently has in excess of 700 members across football and netball. Based on senior premierships, Rangers is the most successful football club in the Northern Suburbs Football Association with 27 titles and have won many titles in the Northern Suburbs Netball Association.

Shirts, shorts, socks and shin guards can be purchased from club sponsor Kingsgrove Sports in Artarmon (481 Pacific Highway, underneath Barbecues Galore).
HOW TEAMS ARE FORMED:
Chatswood Rangers and the Northern Suburbs Football Association believes it is in the best interest of all players that, where possible, they play with and against players of similar ability, we therefore undertake varying degrees of player grading across our junior teams.
In 2021 Chatswood Rangers will take the following approach to team formation:
Under 6 and 7 Teams typically formed on school and friendship groups Under 8 and above An A and B team will be selected as development squads following trials. Where player numbers permit other teams will be formed on school and friendship groups FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
Q: When and where are weekend games played?
A: For the younger age groups (e.g. U6, U7, U8, U9) all games are played at grounds in the local area, with mixed team playing early on Saturday morning (typically 8.30am to 10.30am) and girls on Sunday at approximately the same times. For example, games are played at Bales Park in Willoughby, Blackman Park in Lane Cove and Tunks Park in Cammeray. Older age groups usually play later in the morning, mostly in the local area however there may be some travel involved to clubs in the northern part of the association.
Q: Which night is training and what time does it start?
A: Training nights are largely determined by the team allocation, the availability of the volunteer coach (usually a parent) and the preference of the majority of the team. This is confirmed following the end of the registration and team allocation process, usually at the end of February.
MiniRoos teams (U6 to U11) will be training on either Monday or Tuesday, depending on their team allocation.
Q: What if the training night does not suit?
A: If a player is not available to train on the night allocated due to another commitment, the player can switch to another team if there is space available and/or a player from that team is willing to swap.
If no alternative arrangement can be found a player can de-register and, if the registration fee has been paid, it will be refunded in full if requested prior to the start of the competition season.
Q: Do players need to attend training?
A: We strongly encourage all players to attend training as not only does it improve skills, combination with teammates and help to understand the coach’s approach and tactics, attending training is also an important part of showing good sportsmanship. Players should not just show up for games but also make a commitment to train, as every other player does.
However, if there is a prior commitment or occasional absence from training that would not be an issue, although as a courtesy this should be discussed with the coach and/or manager of the team prior to training.
Q: Is the team uniform all a player needs?
A: No. All players will be required to purchase their own football boots and shinguards, which are available from major sporting goods stores (e.g. Rebel Sport in Chatswood Westfield, Kingsgrove Sports in Artarmon). Kingsgrove Sports will provide a 5% discount on all sporting goods (except team uniforms) to Chatswood Rangers members, although you will have to tell them first!
For safety and insurance purposes players are not permitted to take the field without shinguards being in place.
Q: Where can team uniforms be purchased from?
A: Kingsgrove Sports, 481 Pacific Hwy, Artarmon NSW 2064.
https://kingsgrovesports.com.au/pages/kingsgrove-sports-north-shore
Q: The registration fee seems high. What does it cover?
A: The registration fee covers player insurance, ground hire for training and competition matches, equipment, NSFA registration fees, professional coaching and club administration costs (e.g. the website). Most of the fee basically covers the cost of each player participating in football.
The football season runs over 6 months and three school terms. When compared to other activities such as swimming and musical instrument lessons, it is very reasonably priced at approximately $5 per week.
Our fees compare very favourably with other local football clubs. The professional coaching is an added benefit that players do not have to pay any additional money for and is covered by the existing registration fee.
The NSW Government’s new Active Kids rebate program will enable families with school-aged children to apply for a $100 voucher for each child to reduce club registration fees.
PARENT INVOLVEMENT:
As a not-for-profit, we rely on the collective strength of our club members to continue to make Chatswood Rangers successful, fun and rewarding for everyone. It is also a great way to be more involved with your child’s team and the community. At a team level, each team will need a manager and a coach, and for miniroos, game leaders.
At a club level, this year we are bringing in a sub-committee structure to allow Junior Football to have increased support for the growth we have experienced, bring diversity of ideas and improve the delivery of the football program for all:
- Mini-Roos (U6-U11) Coordinator
- U13 - U18 Coordinator
- Development program Coordinator
- Gear Coordinator
- Summer Football Coordinator
- Gala Day & Events Coordinator

Coaches
Although we would love to be able to appoint a coach to each team, it can be quite challenging to find these coaches. If you, a parent, partner or friend are interested in coaching a team – whether it be a senior or junior team, we would love to hear from you!
You will be giving players the best chance of developing and furthering their skills in the game and may motivate them to go to further heights than they thought they were able.
There are several clinics during the season for to coach the coaches and the Club will subsidise the cost of any clinic or accreditation course attended and also provide any other support needed to help you help our members.
Managers
Each team MUST have a Team Manager in Seniors - this is often a player on your team. The main responsibilities of the Manager is to ensure you have enough players each week, bring the kit bag to games and to ensure each player on your team has a BLUE ID card at every game.
Please consult the checklist & responsibilities below for further information.
A team manager roughly gives 1 hour a week to management responsibilities during game season.

Each year Chatswood Rangers Junior Netball enters teams in the Northern Suburbs Netball Association competition. The competition is played during the winter months, with games usually commencing in late March or early April and running through until August or September, depending on the age group. Please note games are typically not scheduled for school holidays.
The games are played on Friday nights and Saturday mornings at two main venues:
- For players in teams 10-years-old and above games are played at the NSNA netball courts at Small St Willoughby (adjacent to the Willoughby Leisure Centre)
- For girls and boys under 10 years old playing in what is now known as NetSetGO! (formerly Nettas). Courts will be allocated closer to the start of the season.
Why play netball?
What a fantastic game netball is! Not only is it played throughout Australia and New Zealand but also many other parts of the world as diverse as Africa, Asia, the UK and Europe, North America and the Caribbean. It doesn’t matter what level of skill or fitness you have or whether or not you have played before. Did you know that netball is the team sport with the most number of participants in Australia, not just among females but for both genders?
Netball leads to improved fitness levels and also encourages the learning ball skills and helps develop teamwork. Just as importantly players make new friends, improve their co-ordination and increase their self-confidence whilst having a lot of fun at the same time.
At Chatswood Rangers Junior Netball, we’re passionate about our daughters, their friends and other local children having a strong and viable local community sporting club to represent. We have girls from a large number of local primary and high schools playing for the club, including Artarmon, Chatswood, Lane Cove West, Mowbray, Roseville, WGHS and many others. We feel that Chatswood Rangers can offer a smaller, friendlier and more personal club, with the opportunity for the players to learn under the BEST coaches and umpires in the game. As Rangers is a community rather than school club it gives the players the chance to meet girls from other schools and thus make many new friends.
Our main focus is grassroots participation and encouraging girls to enjoy a healthy lifestyle by participating in a team sport activity, particularly as they move into their teenage years. We’re always proud of our players who make the representative teams and go on to win local awards, as several Rangers players and officials have done in recent years.
Chatswood Rangers is not only a friendly community club but we’re also very competitive on the court! With 150 Junior players and 17 teams we’re big enough to offer players of all abilities a challenging experience on the court.
How does junior netball work?
Junior netball is a winter sport mainly running in terms 2 & 3.
In advance of the season:
· There is a selection process (grading) which serves to form and register the teams;
· Followed by pre-season training sessions so the girls understand the basics of the game and get to know their teammates before the actual competition commences .
Please note that all girls who register will be placed in a team.
Chatswood Rangers Junior Netball plays in the Northern Suburbs Netball Association (NSNA) competition.
For specific NSNA competition information/rules please refer to the NSNA website (see tab under Junior Netball).

Junior Netball Fees
The fees will remain unchanged for the 2021 season for junior netball ($260 inc GST).

Uniforms
Available for purchase at Kingsgrove Sports. It is recommended that you purchase your uniform as soon as possible.
Cost $60.
The same uniform is worn by both Junior and Senior Netball players.
Coaching
If you or your child are interested in coaching, please email the Junior Netball Secretary via juniornetball@chatswoodrangers.com.au who will then coordinate further information with the appropriate convenor.
All coaches need to complete the Netball Australia Foundation Course in addition to attending at least one NSNA coaching clinic.
Umpiring
All interested umpires are encouraged to site the online umpiring exam. Children need to be aged 12 or above. Once you have successfully completed the umpiring exam, please email the Junior Netball Secretary via juniornetball@chatswoodrangers.com.au who will then coordinate further information with the appropriate convenor.
Please note that with so many keen and experienced umpires, it may not always be possible for Corrine to immediately roster a new umpire on for games.
Playing Up for another team?
Players can only play up for another team a MAXIMUM of two (2) times per season. If a player plays up more than twice then they automatically become a member of the lowest ranked team in the grade and/or age group above. The manager of the team needs to let the Junior Netball Secretary know the name of the child who played up, which team they belong to and which team they played up for.
Club Code of Conduct
Everyone involved with the Club should make themselves familiar with the Code of Conduct.
All Junior Netball enquiries can be directed to juniornetball@chatswoodrangers.com.au
